Why not confirmed
Hi, why has my rights been changed? I did all my edits in good faith. I would like to know reasons. Thanks, SireWonton 22:48, 8 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SireWonton (talk • contribs)
- @SireWonton: Hi. You don't need the confirmed right because your account is already autoconfirmed. Best wishes. --Meno25 (talk) 23:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Ok. I get it, but really, what's the difference between autoconfirmed and confirmed? 00:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)SireWonton — Preceding unsigned comment added by SireWonton (talk • contribs)
- @SireWonton: Autoconfirmed is an implicit right. It is added automatically by the software (MediaWiki) to your account (when it fulfills certain requirements) without human intervention. Confirmed is an explicit right that can be added by admins to any account if needed. (For example, when we want a certain new account to be able to edit semi-protected pages.) When the software grants the account autoconfirmed right, the confirmed right is then redundant and can be safely removed. --Meno25 (talk) 14:18, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Ah okay I get it. No difference! I thought I had been demoted or something :) SireWonton 21:41, 9 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SireWonton (talk • contribs)
Am I allowed to accept pending revisions? If so, how? I can't find a button to do so. Thanks SireWonton 03:31, 10 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SireWonton (talk • contribs)
- @SireWonton: No, you are not. Only users who have the reviewer right can accept pending changes. You can request reviewer right on WP:RFP but the right is rarely given to new users like you. --Meno25 (talk) 12:17, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
